Nice getaway

The property is in a great location with beautiful ocean views. The room was dated and ceiling needed cleaning from dust but overall a comfortable stay. The lap pool was lovely.

We started in room 169. This room should be condemned, it had mould, it smelled, the carpet was old and dirty, and the furniture looked like it had gone through a flood. The whole unit was old and in need of a refurbishment. We complained and were immediately moved to a suite, unit 130. Much better, but to think this room leases for $504 per night is so overpriced. I would not pay more than $150 per night to stay at this complex.

The outlook of the ocean, the immediate access to the beach, the close proximity to the lap pool, the peace and quiet, the short walk (20 mins) to the long, Urangan pier and shops, the large area of kitchen/lounge and bedroom.
